Big thanks to amoebatron and freenode!

Quote

After discussions, Freenode has kindly granted ownership of IRC channel #aeon to the Aeon project.

In a situation that mirrored the recent Reddit transfer, the #aeon channel was technically already registered to another party, but in effect had been dormant for over 10 years.

Big thanks to Freenode (particularly tinyhippo) who facilitated the transfer.

Please now point your IRC clients toward #aeon and gradually remove #aeoncoin from your collective conciousness.

(For the record, we never actually controlled #aeoncoin either, so it's great that we now have an official IRC base.)

First Reddit, now IRC. It has been a good week for Aeon.

What will be the subject of the next announcement? My guess is LMDB, GUI or website.

lmdb would be cool, it will help to get coin on more exchanges. No real work on GUI is being done I think and website... Not sure.
Hashrate is going down - it will be profitable to mine again soon Wink

We're not waiting for some massive rewrite. There are some important tweaks that are already done but not merged. It won't be long.

One thing to keep in mind is that although the changes in AEON were somewhat small in a sense, their effect is not. Combining the lighter PoW and the block time, our sync speed (using the RAM blockchain) is about 16 times faster than Monero on mainstream hardware like an i5 (with AES, 2+ cores and 2MB+ cache). So we have to be a bit more careful to ensure that the DB does not become a major bottleneck.

Also, we still have the pruning branch which reduces RAM requirements quite a bit.

Wow 16x is more than I thought although I could tell syncing Aeon was a lot faster (RAM version). Do you imagine the pruning branch will eventually become more popular than the non pruning branch or will the high sync speed of Aeon make pruning less advantageous for Aeon (on most devices) in the short run?

Pruning will always be popular on small devices such as low-power always-on nodes (for example RPi), mobile, and VPS slices with limited storage. Whether it becomes popular on say desktops will depend on the level of network usage. Currently the usage is not all that high, so the difference in storage requirements is also limited.

BTW, the 16x ratio will drop to 8x when Monero switches to 2 minute blocks next month. That's still a lot though.

Waiting on LMDB makes sense if AEON wants to remain focused on retaining a small footprint suitable for lower end and mobile devices.

Can the AEON GUI come before LMDB or would that involve more work in the long run (having to modify the GUI for LMDB later)?

Waste of time. I'd better prefer to have LMDB in it's current state because low-end hardware without SSD is loosing marketshare every day and shouldn't be a major issue. That will spot AEON and likely poloniex can bring it back to their awesome exchange. AEON need more volume, more advertisement, more users, without LMDB even in it's current state these 3 pillars will never be built.

Info about glibc vulnerability

You may have heard about the recent glibc bug. If not here is one article about it http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/02/extremely-severe-bug-leaves-dizzying-number-of-apps-and-devices-vulnerable/

While we do not believe that aeond is directly affected, it is possible that a call to the vulnerable getaddrinfo function could occur indirectly via some library. For example, Arux found a call in the miniupnpc library that is used by anond.

Therefore, if you are running an anond node, we recommend you make sure your glibc is updated to the latest version (would need to have been released in the last few days), and then restart your node after rebooting. If you built a static Linux binary (most people would not have done this) then you will need to rebuild it.

While we don't think that Windows is affected (because it uses Windows libraries rather than glibc), Arux is creating a new Windows build of 0.9.6.0, which was missing in any case. Once that is ready all Windows users should update.

That is a reassuring response. It is nice to have a developer who remains on top of things even in cases where a threat may not exist.

They are largely independent.

That is good to hear. How is the GUI work going? Is it more or less work than you expected it to be?

Great news everyone! We were just awarded /r/aeon and will begin using it as our new Reddit home.

We have been using /r/aeoncoin but this is clearly preferable so we will begin the migration immediately and plan to be 100% housed there by March. I hope you'll all stop by and visit us at our new Reddit home: www.reddit.com/r/aeon

Does Aeon plan native integration I2P or Tor?

Maybe. We'll assess how the Monero I2P work is going and maybe consider doing something else with Tor. In the meantime Tor with the wrapper works.

Quote

Is there an ETA for LMDB?

Not a specific one at this time. Before releasing something I'm waiting for some upstream improvements and tuning. The first Monero version works great on systems with lots of RAM and SSD but has some performance issues on lower end hardware.

wait until 6000 sat prices Wink

Is there some special significance to that number? Why do you want to wait?
